Cliff's Bachelor Casserole

Made this in my bachelor days. Got the idea from the beef and rice LRRP meal. Wife loves it and makes it when short on time. Enjoy.

1 lb. ground meat
1 c. rice
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
Seasoning to taste

Makes 6 servings.

Prepare rice with ¾ the recommended amount of water. Brown meat and drain, add cooked rice and Cream of Mushroom soup. Warm and season to taste.

Add salt, pepper, creole sauce, etc. - whatever your taste buds crave.

LOL I've put eggs in potato salad. They work great togerher, as Michelle points out mayo is eggs and oil. Try adding some capers next time.

+1 on the capers. Anchovies also add an interesting flavor.

Capers are not one of my favorites, but that sure does sound good in potato salad. Thank you for the tip, TS.

I know what mayonnaise is made from but it has been modified to an unrecognizeable form.

MR2- I made the same thing in my college days. We called it "KhaK". I don't know why we called it khak but I think it had something to do with what someone said the first time they saw it...

Thumbs down

Caught an 8-lb Bigmouth Bass, and ruined its jaw getting it in (wrapped itself around a submerged fence).

Fileted it, soaked it in buttermilk for an hour while I put 2 cups of corn meal, 1/2 cup unbleached flour, 3 tbsp Cajun Spice, 1 tspn red pepper flakes, 1/2 tspn black pepper and 1/2 tspn salt in a gallon ziplock bag. Put the fillets in, shook the bag 'til they were covered, and fried the filets in peanut oil about 3 minutes per side (golden brown) on about 375 degrees.

Whipped up some tartar sauce while the filets cooled, got out the baked spud and loaded that bad boy.

Turned on "Psych", sat down and dug in.

Might as well have fried my ballcap. Horrible. Course. Tasteless.

Lesson learned; if it's over 2 lbs., I release a black bass henceforth.

Marinated some chicken tenders in olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, onion powder, garlic [powder, black pepper, Mexican oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper for about 30 minutes. Just grilled 'em up, they were delish!

Well, we didn't make it "today", but rather Friday/Saturday for the Graduation party on Saturday. Twas a BBQ brunch.

Brisket.

Chicken and sage sausage.

Pulled pork (butt in crockpot... turns out amazingly good).

BBQ meatballs in the other crock-pot.

Honey baked beans (in the other crock-pot... yes I LOVE my crock-pots!)

Corn on the cob, mac and cheese and potato salad (*with hard boiled eggs )

We also did a cool breakfast taco station, with egg, bacon and cheddar soft tacos, with homemade guacamole, sour cream and Julio's salsa (omg ... *best* salsa ever).

The cooking was the majority of the work, but keeping everything either on ice pans or in hot water pans, to keep it from spoiling over a period of several hours was a bit of work too. I don't ever want someone getting sick from something I served, and it's tricky keeping it all at healthy temps to keep away bacteria. Especially in Texas summer heat.

Fed about 30 people, and still have leftovers. The glory of that is I don't have to cook for the next few days.

Good eats, good people, good time.

I make this all the time, if you can get baby spinach you don't need to worry about the stems.

The salmon recipe sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a try. I usually make it by searing it in a pan, stove top, in butter with fresh chopped garlic and lemon pepper. Once browned on both sides I squeeze fresh lemon over it.

However you make your salmon, this sauce is the bomb!

Salmon and Tarragon Sauce
1-1½ lbs. salmon fillets
¼ c. water

Sauce:
1 T. sugar
½ t. dried tarragon
2 T. Dijon mustard
2 T. olive oil
1 T. vinegar
Cut sauce recipe in half.

Pour water over fish. Cover tightly and microwave 9-10 minutes, rotating after 4 minutes. Let stand covered 3 minutes.

Whisk together sauce ingredients. Serve on the side.
